100% positive the correct answer is 'but', other words although sound correct are out of context and provide no real meaning, that being said there should have been a comma before 'but'.

Sentence connector is used. 'The path of glory lead" is a sentence while "To the grave" is another sentence so when joining the two together you need a sentence connector and from the options "But" is the only sentence connector.
